Nice post!
I’ve been messing around with a “headless” Dirtywave M8 on my Steamdeck… best bit of money I’ve spent in a long time. Even had a buddy print me a Gameboy cartridge case for it with a clip-on cartridge slot for the deck. Did my first ever jungle noodlings with the Amen break… having a great time!
I’ve actually got a trio of DMG-01s that I grabbed in Japan a few years back… slapped in some RCA and backlight mods in and then quickly lost interest because my eyes just aren’t good enough to deal with those screens. I thought LSDj and the crusty old Gameboy sound chips were really freaking cool… but I’m happy to say the M8 blows LSDj out of the water on features and QoL, and I can stare at my Steamdeck screen all night!

Speaking of Gameboy on the Steam Deck, have you seen this effort of the GBOperator?
I feel like you’ll enjoy that link!
Sadly the price of Japanese consoles went up a heap over Covid, though you can still get some amazing deals with proxy bidding and buying services, if you take your time!

No haven’t seen GBOperator before… that’s really cool! Perhaps a bit redundant for LSDj but very cool for gaming.
I like this whole idea of hardware attachments for the Steamdeck. Hopefully Valve will add some sort of standardised mounting points on future iterations so we don’t have to rely on flimsy printed clip-on bits so much… I reckon a VESA mount could be good!
